1 Učinićeš im ovo kad ih staneš osveštavati da mi vrše službu svešteničku: uzmi tele i dva ovna zdrava,

2 I hlebove presne i kolače presne zamešene s uljem, i pogače presne namazane uljem, od brašna pšeničnog umesi ih.

3 I metni ih u jednu kotaricu, i prinesi ih u kotarici s teletom i s dva ovna.

4 I dovedi Arona i sinove njegove pred vrata šatora od sastanka, i umij ih vodom.

5 I uzevši haljine obuci Aronu košulju i plašt ispod oplećka i oplećak i naprsnik, i opaši ga pojasom od oplećka.

6 I metni mu kapu na glavu i svetu ploču na kapu.

7 I uzmi ulje za pomazanje, i izlij mu na glavu, i pomazaćeš ga.

8 I sinove njegove dovedi i obuci im košulje;

9 I opaši ih pojasima, Arona i sinove njegove, i metni im kape na glave, da imaju sveštenstvo uredbom večnom. Tako ćeš posvetiti ruke Aronu i sinovima njegovim.

10 I dovedi tele pred šator od sastanka, a Aron i sinovi njegovi neka metnu ruke teletu na glavu.

11 I zakolji tele pred Gospodom na vratima šatora od sastanka.

12 I uzevši krvi od teleta pomaži rogove oltaru prstom svojim, a ostalu krv svu prolij na podnožje oltaru.

13 I uzmi sve salo po crevima, i mrežicu na jetri, i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i zapali na oltaru.

14 A meso od teleta i kožu i balegu spali ognjem izvan logora; to je žrtva za greh.

15 Potom uzmi ovna jednog, i na glavu ovnu neka metnu ruke svoje Aron i sinovi njegovi.

16 I zakolji ovna i uzmi krvi od njega i pokropi oltar unaokolo.

17 A ovna izudi, i operi drob i noge, i metni ih na udove njegove i na glavu.

18 I svega ovna zapali na oltaru; to je žrtva paljenica Gospodu, miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

19 Pa uzmi i drugog ovna, i neka mu metne Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje na glavu.

20 I zakolji tog ovna, i uzmi krvi od njega i pomaži njom kraj od desnog uha Aronu i kraj od desnog uha sinovima njegovim, i palac u desne ruke njihove i palac u desne noge njihove, a ostalom krvlju pokropi oltar unaokolo.

21 I uzmi krvi koja bude na oltaru i ulja za pomazanje, i pokropi Arona i haljine njegove, i sinove njegove i haljine njihove, i biće svet on i haljine njegove i sinovi njegovi i haljine njihove.

22 Potom uzmi salo od ovna i rep i salo što je po crevima i mrežicu na jetri i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i desno pleće; jer je ovan posvetni;

23 I jedan hleb i jedan kolač s uljem i jednu pogaču iz kotarice u kojoj budu presni hlebovi pred Gospodom.

24 I to sve metni u ruke Aronu i u ruke sinovima njegovim, i obrći tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom.

25 Po tom uzmi im to iz ruku, i zapali na oltaru svrh žrtve paljenice, da bude miris ugodan pred Gospodom; to je žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

26 I uzmi grudi od ovna posvetnog, koji bude za Arona, i obrtaćeš ih tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom; i to će biti tvoj deo.

27 Tako ćeš osvetiti grudi od žrtve obrtane i pleće od žrtve podizane, šta je obrtano i šta je podizano od ovna posvetnog za Arona i za sinove njegove.

28 I to će biti Aronu i sinovima njegovim uredbom večnom od sinova Izrailjevih, jer je žrtva podizana. Kad je žrtva podizana sinova Izrailjevih od njihovih žrtava zahvalnih, žrtva podizana biće Gospodu.

29 A svete haljine Aronove neka budu sinovima njegovim nakon njega da se pomazuju u njima i da im se u njima posvećuju ruke.

30 Sedam dana neka ih oblači koji na njegovo mesto bude sveštenik između sinova njegovih, koji će ulaziti u šator od sastanka da služi u svetinji.

31 A ovna posvetnog uzmi i skuvaj meso od njega na mestu svetom.

32 I Aron i sinovi njegovi neka na vratima šatora od sastanka jedu meso od tog ovna i hleb što je u kotarici.

33 Neka ga jedu oni za koje je bilo očišćenje da bi im se posvetile ruke da bi bili posvećeni; a drugi da ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

34 Ako li bi ostalo šta mesa posvetnog ili hleba do jutra, onda što ostane sažeži ognjem, a da se ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

35 I tako učini Aronu i sinovima njegovim po svemu što ti zapovedih; sedam dana svetićeš im ruke.

36 I svaki ćeš dan prinositi na žrtvu tele za greh radi očišćenja; i očistićeš oltar čineći očišćenje na njemu, i pomazaćeš ga da se osveti.

37 Sedam dana činićeš očišćenje na oltaru i osvetićeš ga, te će oltar biti svetinja nad svetinjama; šta se god dotakne oltara, biće sveto.

38 I ovo ćeš prinositi na oltaru: dva jagnjeta od godine svaki dan bez prekida.

39 Jedno jagnje prinosi jutrom a drugo prinosi večerom,

40 I još desetinu efe pšeničnog brašna smešana s uljem ceđenim, kog da bude četvrt ina, i naliv vina, četvrt ina na jedno jagnje.

41 A drugo jagnje prinesi uveče; kao sa žrtvom jutarnjom i s nalivom njenim tako i s ovom čini da bude miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

42 To neka bude žrtva paljenica svagda od kolena do kolena vašeg na vratima šatora od sastanka pred Gospodom, gde ću se sastajati s vama da govorim s tobom.

43 I onde ću se sastajati sa sinovima Izrailjevim, da se osvećuje slavom mojom.

44 I osvetiću šator od sastanka i oltar; i Arona i sinove njegove osvetiću da su mi sveštenici.

45 I nastavaću među sinovima Izrailjevim, i biću im Bog.

46 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod Bog njihov, koji sam ih izveo iz zemlje misirske da nastavam među njima, ja Gospod Bog njihov.

10030. 'Covering the intestines' means which exists on last or lowest levels. This is clear from the meaning of 'the intestines' as last or lowest things. The reason why the intestines have this meaning is that they are the last and lowest of a person's internal organs, not only as regards their location but also as regards their function. As regards their location, they are below the stomach, to which they are attached; and as regards their function, they are the last organs to receive the things undergoing digestion in a person. Above them, as is well known, come the stomach, liver, pancreas, and spleen; higher still, the heart and lungs; and still higher, the head. It is also well known that these higher parts of the body discharge their filth and waste products into the intestines and banish them through these, partly by way of the stomach, partly by way of the ducts from the liver - called the hepatic ducts, and also the cystic or biliary ducts - and partly by way of the ducts from the pancreas, which like all the other ducts have their outlet into the duodenum. From all this it is now evident why last or lowest things are meant by 'the intestines'. The fact that the internal organs in the human body mean such things as belong to the spiritual world becomes clear from what has been abundantly shown at the ends of a large number of chapters where the correspondence of the Grand Man, which is heaven, with everything present in the human being has been the subject. For what specifically corresponds to the intestines, see 5392. The hells correspond to the impurities and excrement cast out from them, 5393-5396.

[2] Since several organs of the body are mentioned in what immediately follows, such as the lesser omentum, liver, kidneys, legs, breast, flank, and head, and the arrangement of them in sacrifices is dealt with, it must first be shown here that by parts of the human body in general the kinds of things that exist in the Grand Man, that is, in heaven, are meant. Here let the meaning of just those parts of the body which are used in Daniel to describe Nebuchadnezzar's statue be indicated. There, in Chapter 2:32-33, it says that its head was pure gold, breast and arms were silver, belly and side bronze, legs iron, and feet partly iron and partly clay. Anyone who does not know that the Lord's Word is spiritual supposes that these things were said in reference to earthly kingdoms. But the Word is not dealing with earthly kingdoms, only with God's kingdom, thus with heaven and the Church. The reason why these are described by means of the kinds of things that exist in earthly lands and their kingdoms is that worldly and earthly things correspond to the kinds of things that exist in heaven. For the whole natural order and the whole universe is a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom, see the places referred to in 9280, and earthly and worldly things are what a person comes to know of first.

[3] From this it may be recognized that Nebuchadnezzar's statue seen in a dream does not mean worldly but heavenly things. But what specifically is meant by the head, the breast, the belly and side, the legs, and the feet may be known from their correspondence, thus from the internal sense of the Word. From correspondence one can know that the head means the first state of the Church, the breast and arms the second, the belly and side the third, the legs the fourth, and the feet the last. Since the first state of the Church was a state of the good of love to the Lord it says that the head was of pure gold; since the second state was a state of truth springing from that good it says that the breast and arms were of silver; since the third state was the good of love and its truth in the external or natural man it says that the belly and side were of bronze; since the fourth state was the truth of faith it says that the legs were of iron; and since the last state was truth which, though called the truth of faith, is devoid of good it says the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay. And such being the last state of the Church verses 34, 35 say that out of the rock a stone was cut, which smashed them all to pieces and scattered them, so that the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them, meaning that the good of love to the Lord, the good of charity towards the neighbour, and the good of faith were completely dispersed, so completely that there was no knowledge of what they were. No more than some knowledge of the truths of faith existed, without any knowledge of good; or if any knowledge of good existed it was not real good, thus was not the good that coheres with the truths of faith.

[4] This good is external good without internal, which is what the good of merit is, and what good pursued for selfish and worldly reasons is, thus good pursued for the sake of gain, position, and reputation, for the sake of friendship cultivated because of these things, or for the sake of currying favour. Or else it is pursued solely on account of fear of the law. It is not pursued on account of the good of charity, which is the good of one's fellow citizen, the good of human society, the good of one's country, or the good of the Church.

[5] The types of good mentioned above are meant by 'the clay' or 'the mire', the truth with which that good does not cohere being 'the iron'. Therefore verse 43 says, [Just as] the iron which you saw was mixed with the miry clay, they will mingle through the seed of man (homo) 1 , but they will not cohere with one another, just as iron is not mingled with clay. 'The seed of man' is the truth of faith when it originates in the self, which is truth falsified and adulterated through application to evils that exist as the result of a regard for self and the world. From all this it is evident that the parts of a person's body from his head to the soles of his feet mean such things as belong to the Church.

[6] In general 'the head' means celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord, 'the breast' spiritual good, which is the good of charity towards the neighbour, and 'the feet' natural good, which is the good and truth of faith, see 9913, 9914; and the same kinds of good are meant by 'gold', 'silver', 'bronze', and 'iron', 5658. But for what is meant specifically by 'the head', see 4938, 4939, 5328, 9913, 9914, by 'gold', 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 9510, 9881, by 'the breast', 4938, 4939, 5328, 6436, 9913, 9914, and by 'silver', 1551, 5658, 6914, 6917. From this it is evident what is meant by 'the belly' and 'the side', which are the parts below the breast. But for what 'bronze' means, [see] 425, 1551, 'the feet', 2162, 3147, 3761, 4938-4952, 'iron', 425, 426, and 'clay' or 'mire', 1300, 6669.

[7] From all this it may now be recognized that the members or organs of the human body mean such things as correspond to them in the Grand Man, which is heaven. They all have connection with the good of love and the truth of faith; and because they correspond to these they also correspond to the same realities in the Church, because the Lord's heaven on earth is the Church.

There is a correspondence of the human being and all parts of the human being with the Grand Man, which is heaven; see what has been shown from actual experience at the ends of a number of chapters, in the following places, 3624-3649, 3741-3751, 3883-3896, 4039-4051, 4218-4228, 4318-4331, 4403-4421, 4527-4533, 4622-4633, 4652-4660, 4791-4805, 4931-4953, 5050-5061, 5171-5189, 5377-5396, 5552-5573, 5711-5727, 5846-5866, 5976-5993, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6326, 6466-6495.

What correspondence is, 2987-3003, 3213-3227, 3337-3352, 3472-3485.
